Jason, the one I bought last year out of Michigan, had similar repairs---front of rear quarters, a floor panel---period. Paid $4,400. and it was all done real decent.
Look at blazers real careful as swaping big stuff is tough. Front clip, doors, are no brainers as it's all available new or from trucks. The tub, firewall and windshield frame are the critical things that are hard to find and expensive to get/install.
Given the pictures, my bet as to additional rust unseen, and a slight deduction for GMC ===____.$3600. would be my top $$ if I needed it for a driver. For resale, it will take more work/parts then you project as they ALWAYS do. The hatch will be a tough fix where it's opening. If you're expecting better gas mileage--not sure that will happen either as the 350-350 with 373's will probably give you around 10 mpg in town.
Of course, buying it and storing it somewhere will give you a better return on your $$ then the bank would so you can always use that approach on the love muffin! hehehe Good luck---Huck
